Women Empowerment Women are no less than men in India in any sector. Women are not what they really were. Some decades ago, women were limited to the kitchen. Today, Indian women have made their strong presence in each & every field. Women have ultimately come out of their 'saree'and ‘parda’ image and really demonstrating their talent. Let’s take the example of our office only. If you will rush to our office you will found many elegant women doing great job. Moreover who is reading this write up; she herself is an example of women empowerment. Women are no less than to the men, be it in business, politics, entertainment, sports or whatever. Let’s talk about some bold women; it’s a woman who is leading Indian National Congress as its president, Smt Sonia Gandhi who has got the supreme leadership qualities. Smt. Mamta Banerjee, Mayawati, pratibha patil, Meera kumar is some of the most influential name in the Indian Politics. Women could really do more than what they actually think they can. First woman IPS Officer Kiran Bedi has made everything possible for the women. The ability of a woman to break the barriers and tread on a new path was proved by her. It was a common notion that men can do far better than women but Indian women have paved this myth by making their footprints in almost every field of work. Women are not only law-makers and law-controllers, but also Business magnates. We have many milestones like Chanda Kochhar, Indra Nooyi and many more that have set the perfect model of a Business magnate.

"When women are the advisor, the Lords of creation don't take the advice till they have persuaded themselves that it is just what they intended to do; then they act upon it and if it succeeds, they give the weaker vessel half the credit of it; if fails, they generously give herself the whole".- Louisa May Alcott
Gender equality is, first and foremost, a human right. A woman is entitled to live in dignity and in freedom from want and from fear. Empowering women is also an indispensable tool foradvancing development and reducing poverty. Empowered women contribute to the health and productivity of whole families and communities and to improved prospects for the next generation.
Yet discrimination against women and girls - including gender-based violence, economic discrimination, reproductive health inequities, and harmful traditional practices - remains the most pervasive and persistent form of inequality and also decrease in child sex ratio.
Women and girls bear enormous hardship during and after humanitarian emergencies, especially armed conflicts. They usually have less access than men to medical care, property ownership, credit, training and employment. They are far less likely than men to be politically active and far more likely to be victims of domestic violence. The ability of women to control their own fertility is absolutely fundamental to...

...not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you.”
― Dorothy Parker,
Are the common women vested with powers to drive the nation?Are today’s women really progressing politically and psychologically? Have the men accepted modern woman to be at equal footing? Why the word equality remains abstract for women despite of the constant progress made by them? These above questions, if posed to our so called leaders, would simply be parried. Women have become marionettes in the hands of them. The female populace faces barriers in the society in every sphere which are strengthening their vice like grip through many forms of violence, atrocities and inequality against women.
The term Empowerment holds different meanings to different psyches and this divergence, this comprehension of facts against fiction, this way of interpretation that people of various sects, associations and understanding,can perhaps answer this quintessential question – ARE WOMEN REALLY EMPOWERED ?
India is indubitably a great country of miscellaneous cultures, traditions, religions, castes and geographical characteristics. However, India is even known for its sobriquet 'male-chauvinistic nation'. In Indian perspectives if a state has 3 women Chief Ministers or there is only 33 percent reservation, do we have political empowerment...

Womenempowerment in India
Here in this Essay on WomenEmpowerment it is tried to find out the possible reasons for women’s present situation in India(whichever way you view it through your vision) and what possible solutions could be derived out while keeping in mind major crimes against women in today’s society. The first part talks about who really is the culprit; the perpetrator or the society?
“Rapists should be hanged!!”, “Rapists should be stoned to death!”, when I hear such statements I am aroused to have similar kind of hatred for these rapists of our sisters, daughters, mothers, friends…
But should they really be given a death sentence? I know, on even asking such a question would make me look like a sympathizer of such devils, as we call them. But again, I would try to form this very, ‘politically incorrect’ question in a bit different manner; I would ask, should they be the only ones to be blamed for such heinous crimes to happen against...

...WomenEmpowerment in Bangladesh
Introduction:
Women’s empowerment is defined as “women’s ability to make strategic life choices where that ability had beenpreviously denied them” (Kabeer 1999). Womenempowerment now is often accredited as an important aim of international development policies, and many donor agencies include women’s empowerment in their development strategies. Althoughempowerment is often conceptualized as a process (Cueva Beteta 2006; Kabeer 2001; Malhotra and Schuler 2005), most quantitative studies have been cross-sectional, comparing individual women with others in their communities or societies(Malhotra and Schuler 2005). In the development of indicators it is usually implicitly assumed that higher levels of empowerment represent a change from a pre-existing situation in which women have more limited power, influence, freedom, or autonomy; but such changes have rarely been measured using a common set of indicators. Such studies can be valuable for cross national comparisons (UNDP 1995; Ibrahim and Alkire 2007) and for documenting change over time, particularly at the macro- or meso- levels, but I would argue that the meanings and salience of empowerment indicators are likely to evolve over time both in developing interventions to foster women’s empowerment and in documenting...

Abstract:
Gender equality is, first and foremost, a human right. A woman is entitled to live in dignity and in freedom from want and from fear. Empowering women is also an indispensable tool for advancing development and reducing poverty. Empowered womencontribute to the health and productivity of whole families and communities and to improved prospects for the next generation. The importance of gender equality is underscored by its inclusion as one of the eight Millennium Development Goals. Gender equality is acknowledged as being a key to achieving the other seven goals. Yet discrimination against women and girls - including gender-based violence, economic discrimination, reproductive health inequities, and harmful traditional practices - remains the most pervasive and persistent form of inequality. Women and girls bear enormous hardship during and after humanitarian emergencies, especially armed conflicts. There have been several organisations and institutions advocating forwomen, promoting legal and policy reforms and gender-sensitive data collection, and supporting projects that improve women's health and expand their choices in life. Despite many international agreements affirming their human rights, women are still much more likely than men to be poor and illiterate....

Employee Empowerment
Within the flat organization model, employee empowerment becomes a mainstay. Just because the traditional model is not in place, that doesn't mean that management does not exist. Employee empowerment is a critical tool that can be utilized to create a better environment while amplifying the support of employees. "People are the most important asset. Technologies, products and structures can be copied by competitors. No one, however, can match a company full of highly charged, motivated people who care." (Kotelnikov, 2007). Empowering the employees stresses a few major points: personal responsibility, injection of new ideas, and open lines of communication.
"Empowerment is the oil that lubricates the exercise of learning. Talented and empowered human capital is becoming the prime ingredient of organizational success." (Kotelnikov, 2007). Placing personal responsibility on each employee also ensures employees take ownership of their actions. Personal accountability also breeds interpersonal discipline. While holding each and every employee accountable, employees will begin to police themselves and take into account any shortfalls of fellow employees. "People want and need to feel that they are "insiders," that they are aware of everything that is going on. There is nothing so demoralizing to a staff member than to be kept in the dark about their work and...
